Healthcare costs associated with short-acting beta(2)-agonists in asthma: observational UK SABINA study.

アブストラクト	BACKGROUND: Poor asthma control is associated with high short-acting beta(2)-agonist (SABA) use. AIM: To assess asthma-related healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU) and medication costs associated with high versus low SABA prescriptions in the UK. DESIGN & SETTING: Analysis of SABINA I (SABA use IN Asthma I), a retrospective longitudinal study using UK electronic health records (Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD 2008-2019 and Hospital Episode Statistics database). METHOD: Eligible patients were >/=12 years old with SABA prescriptions in the past year. SABA prescriptions (number of canisters per year) were defined as high (>/=3) or low (1-2). Association of SABA prescriptions with HCRU was assessed by negative binominal model adjusted for covariates. The UK unit costs from the NHS were applied to estimate total healthcare costs (2020). Medication costs were based on the annual average number of canisters per year per patient. RESULTS: Overall, 186 061 patients with SABA prescriptions were included, of whom 51% were prescribed high SABA. Total annual average costs (HCRU and medication) were 52% higher in the high SABA group versus the low SABA group ( pound2 256 091 per 1000 patients/year versus pound1 480 640 per 1000 patients/year). Medication costs accounted for the majority of asthma-related costs. Across both groups, most HCRU costs were for non-exacerbation-related primary care or hospital outpatient visits. The annual average HCRU cost difference for high SABA versus low SABA was the greatest for hospitalisations (+230%; pound15 521 per 1000 patients/year versus pound4697 per 1000 patients/year) and exacerbation-related primary care visits (+162%; pound18 770 per 1000 patients/year versus pound7160 per 1000 patients/year). Asthma-related HCRU extrapolated to the broader UK asthma population was pound108.5 million per year higher with high SABA versus low SABA. CONCLUSION: High SABA versus low SABA prescriptions are associated with higher asthma-related HCRU costs.
